Pippen had intended to imitate Jordan and make a show on the first day of the new season's training camp, killing the chicken to warn the monkey.
This was something that Jordan did every year before the new season.
The list of his victims could go around the Berto Center, and Pippen himself was once one of them.
Every first day of the season, Jordan would use this method to let the whole team know: This is my turf, if you have an issue come at me, and the loser shuts up.
That was how he controlled the team.
Pippen thought he could do the same, but before everyone's eyes, he let a high schooler score an incredibly brilliant shot.
At that moment, Kukoc inappropriately shouted, "Well done, Roger!"
Pippen turned his head and glared fiercely at Kukoc, who instantly hid behind Cartwright.
Embarrassed by the two rookies he disliked the most, Pippen angrily picked up the basketball: "Not bad, rookie, but now I'm going to play seriously."
